Elder McNeil

 

This cute guy is at the MTC!! Oh my gosh, I get misty eyed thinking about it ;) He is going to be a wonderful missionary!
He is going to SANTIAGO CHILI and the poor guy is not a fan of airplanes... I guess he'll have about 15 hours to get over it lol!
He spent some time with us before he left and it meant A lOT to me that he would want to spend his "last days" with his auntie ;)
Brian's nephew went to Portugal but this is the first nephew on my side so it's a little more emotional.

We are so proud of you Eric and can't wait to see you again!!

Just like Grandpa

 

We were visiting Auntie and JJ got my soda. Jacob thought it was the funniest thing to see him drinking Diet Pepsi like grandpa.
We all know Grandpa loves his Diet Pepsi!!

Hands

 

I went to the dentist the other day and I have to tell you I LOVE this guy! He was at Primary Children's Hospital when we were going through Joey's surgeries and he performed a few. He has a pediatric dental office here in St. George, yea!
Well, he loves my babies and insisted on holding them... then he asked if he could make a cast of their hands!
He loves to do this kind of stuff and he needs to practice so I said of course and look how tiny and cute they turned out!!

Lego Racing

 

Ok so you probably know by now that Uncle Brian built a modified race car and Uncle Kenny is the driver.... I can call them Uncle Brian & Kenny even though they are not truly related but Brian & Carri Thompson have been our best friends since we got married and Kenny is Brian's brother so yes, they are auntie & uncles to my kiddos!!
Dave has something to say about that but what can I do?? ;)

Jacob LOVES Legos and building so after he saw a race he built Kenny's car, a trailer and a car to tow it all out of Legos... he also wrote Kenny a letter telling him what a great job he did racing and he was so touched, he sent the two older boys an autographed picture!!

That is something they will treasure for a very long time :)

Science Projects

 


















Let the projects begin!! Joey's class did a map of the state of Utah, he was one of the only ones who actually payed attention and did it correctly ;)

Haylee was working on the Earth's core and made a model of playdough.

I just had to throw in Haylee & Kenadi... I love these two girls!!

Update My Life

 

So Ryan text me the other day..probably last week actually, I have no track of time anymore!! Anyway, he told me to update my life so here it is in a nutshell...

1. Screaming babies

2. Feed babies

3. Sleeping babies

REPEAT...

Don't forget to change diapers and clothing in between!! Oh yea and they don't sleep very long either!!!

Yes, I still love my life ;)

JJ update

 

JJ got his staples out:) He was such a good boy and that week flew by! He was excited to have the attention and go to the hospital and such but when the Dr started tugging at his head he got a little nervous... he was so good. The nurse gave him a coloring book pack and yes, he got another chocolate shake!
On the way to the hospital he asked daddy, I get a chocolate shake right daddy?
How could we tell him no?
He has grown so much this last little bit and is turning into a little "person" He goes to preschool MWF from 9-12 and it has done wonders for him ;)

See Jack with a headband? The day after he saw JJ, he told his mom he wanted to be a ninja like JJ and didn't take it off for 2 days lol!!

The scar is healing well and he keeps reminding me to put sunscreen on it when we go outside (Dr's orders)
